December Spokane Valley Snow Update


The snow just continues here in the south Spokane valley. I took these photos when the sun finally showed itself on Friday, December 26th.
















































Cole and I went for a little hike up Tower mountain and skied down. Not the best skiing
conditions, but we never hit any rocks!































Kim took this picture of her "Carhartt" men. She insisted I post it.
















Paige and Brooke ready to go face the elements.

Winter has come to the Skelton homestead. I measured twenty-two inches after the first twenty-four hours of the storm. Since then we have received another six inches. It's not even Christmas yet! Anyway, hope you enjoy these pictures of our record-breaking snowfall here in the south Spokane valley.


I snapped a pic of a very worried looking whitetail doe slogging thru the backyard. Paige and Brooke sledding down the driveway

Had a little trouble with the snow blower. But the gang knows Dad can fix anything with a little baling wire. After some help from the neighbor and a little "Tim the toolman" modification, we were throwing snow twenty feet. Nice hat, eh?

The birdhouse has plenty of insulation now. Might need to shovel off the trampoline.



We were able to locate Paige's car when we spotted this mirror!




One of the best investments I ever made!
Merry Christmas!
